Start enjoying the Health Benefits of Hydrotherapy in a Brady's Hot Tub.

Hot water is the key to relaxation.

Our
roots are in History (and our bodies in hot water)

First
a little history. Hydrotherapy has been around for ages. In fact the
therapeutic use of water was used by ancient Egyptian, Greek and
Roman civilizations. Other cultures noted for a long history of
hydrotherapy include China and Japan. The Japanese are still enjoying
their famous hot springs, and for good reason. Indeed our ancestors
knew what we still know today. Hot Water is great for the human body.

As far as Modern History
goes...
In 1956, the Jacuzzi brothers invented the first portable hydrotherapy pump, later to be known as J-300, and could turn any bath tub into a spa-like atmosphere at the flip of a switch. Their invention came about because a child in the family was receiving hydrotherapy treatment for arthritis in Berkeley, California which was miles from the child’s home. As you can imagine, the invention of the J-300 saved the family hours of traveling and discomfort.

In the 1960’s, the first home hot tubs started to appear in the form of old wine vats, tanks, and barrels in the wine country of Northern California. Folks would take these old discarded vats and fill them with hot water.
Later, in 1968, Roy Jacuzzi invented the modern whirlpool bath he called “the Roman.” It had fully-integrated plumbing, jets, and 50/50 air-to-water ratio bringing the portable hydrotherapy pump to the next stage, and we were on our way to what we know today.

Hydrotherapy
is the use of water
to treat a disease or to maintain health. The
theory behind it is that water has many properties that give it the
ability to heal. Chief among them, its ability to carry and store
heat and energy. Hot water promotes blood flow and also has a
calming, soothing, relaxing effect on people. So let's get you in Hot Water. Here are just a few of the ways
hydrotherapy can help in your daily life:

You'll
probably sleep better.

When your body is comfortably warm, you tend to fall asleep quicker and
rest through the night with fewer disruptions. We all know that
quality sleep is essential to feeling well. Good moods, mental
alertness and physical energy are improved by good sleep. A little
time in the Hot Tub before bed will warm you right up and help you
drift right off.

Relieve
your stress.

At Brady's, we've
been committed to Hot Tubbing for over three decades. It is our
experience that hot water, massaging jets, the feeling of
weightlessness, absorbing led lights and the pleasant sound of water
really help you to chill out. It's absolutely amazing what a few
minutes in your Jacuzzi from Brady's can do for your attitude.

Improve
your athletic performance.

Lactic
acid is what causes much of the soreness you feel after exercise and
sports. By soaking in a Hot Tub your body will experience increased
blood circulation, helping to do away with built up lactic acid. Your
muscles and joints will feel less sore and stiff and more flexible. So you're not as sore from today, and ready to go again tomorrow.

Relieve
your knee pain and recover from injuries faster.

It
has been noted that people with knee injuries that consistently use
Spas and Hot Tubs experience less pain and recover faster than those
that don't use hot tubs. How does improved range of motion in less
time, and using less pain medication sound? According to a recent
study hot tubbing helps in both areas.

Help
to Alleviate back pain.

Several
published medical studies have demonstrated that hot tub therapy has
both short and long-term benefits for people with lower back pain.
Neck, upper back and shoulders benefit too.

Sooth
Arthritis pain

According
to a publication from The Arthritis Foundation entitled Spas, Pools,
and Arthritis. “Regular sessions in your hot tub help keep joints
moving. It restores and preserves strength and flexibility, and also
protects your joints from further damage." I don't know about you, but that sounds great to me. I'd like to keep moving freely for a long time to come.

Immerse
yourself

That's science and medicine. Now when you first dip a toe into your Hot
Tub, walk down the stairs as the steam rises to great you, then
immerse yourself in the hot, relaxing water—you start to feel what
hydrotherapy is really all about. Seriously, there is nothing like
total body immersion. A hot shower is great, but doesn't even come
close.

Perfect
Après Anything

After
a day of skiing, mountain biking, horseback riding, after the
softball or hockey game, (before the game to loosen up is great too) your body
and mind will start to unwind. Not only does warm water therapy help
your blood vessels dilate, promoting increased blood flow and
preventing soreness and stiffness as we mentioned above—it feels absolutely wonderful.
All over. Say it slowly, "All over."

It's
about Quality of Life

There's
another benefit to owning a hot tub too, a communal one. Busy lives,
busy schedules... We don't always have enough quality time, so we
have to make the most of it when we do. A soak in a hot tub with
family and friends offers a time to slow down and enjoy each other's
company. Great conversation or silence for that matter; submerged in comforting, hot
water. I'm in!
